सर्वतीर्थ
सर्वतीर्थ (AS, p.943) : वाल्मीकि रामायण के अयोध्या काण्ड 71, 14 में उल्लेखित एक स्थान जहाँ केकय से अयोध्या आते समय भरत कुछ समय के लिए ठहरे थे- 'वासं कृत्वा सर्वतीर्थे तीर्त्वा चोत्तरंगां नदीम् अन्यानदीश्च विविधै: पार्वतीयैस्तुरंगमैः।' इससे सूचित होता है कि सर्वतीर्थ किसी उत्तर की ओर बहने वाली नदी के तट पर बसा हुआ था। यह उज्जिहाना नगरी के पूर्व में स्थित था। [1]
